mosquito nets

Tropical sleeping defense

Mosquito nets are fine mesh barriers draped over beds or sleeping areas to prevent mosquito bites, primarily used in tropical regions where malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases are endemic.

The nets may be treated with insecticide for added protection.

We slept under mosquito nets during the safari.
